Anger Is Essential

We learn to walk around the problems, almost as if they aren't there. We learn the skill of negotiating the minefields. The fact that life is broken becomes a regular part of our lives and simply doesn't bother us any longer. We develop the sad capacity not to care anymore about things that should break our hearts and rile us up. We lose our moral edge and don't even realize it. Things that God says are not okay become okay to us. We lose our ability, our commitment, to be good and angry at the same time. We fall into accepting the unacceptable and living with what should be unlivable. We quit fighting in righteous anger and learn to cope in unrighteous complacency, and when we do, we are not faithful to the radical, transformative power and call of the gospel of Jesus Christ
